Operation Purple Camp

Exclusively for military-connected children, NMFA enhances the traditional camp experience with a curriculum that focuses on intentional skill-building and connection to other kids with military life experiences.

Military kids leave camp with pride in their own contributions, meaningful connections with a community of peers, and skills to tackle the challenges of military family life.

Camp Corral

One hundred percent of children that Camp Corral serves have a parent who is wounded, ill, or fallen because of their military service to our nation. Twenty-four percent of these children have more than one parent who has served, and more than 50% shared that no one understands what it is like being a military child. Having a wounded, ill, or fallen parent comes with unique challenges such as being a caregiver to their parent. These children face hardships and make sacrifices beyond their years. They deserve specialized programs which provide them with the opportunities to build emotional resilience and transformational skills to live their best lives possible.

Military Teens Adventure Camp

Military teens (13-18 years old of Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, and Retired personnel) will have an opportunity to participate in adventure camps at little to no cost. These high energy, high adventure, and high experience camps are planned across the United States. This is the perfect chance for you to experience the outdoors as you never have before!

Each camp offers a unique outdoor experience that will allow you to build your leadership, self-confidence, and teamwork skills while engaging with the outdoors. Camps have funding available to assist with transportation costs.

As highlighted in the USC State of the American Veteran: Southern California Study, the well-being of veterans is closely tied to the stability and support of their families. Access to resources for military-connected children—especially during transitional periods—plays a critical role in overall family resilience.
